Cardinals receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. stunned fans and media alike on Monday when he showed up to a press conference with a noticeably bigger physique.
Harrison, who’s listed at 6-foot-4 and 205 pounds, had a productive rookie year in 2024 as he totaled 62 receptions for 885 yards and eight touchdowns.
And the former Ohio State standout could be set for an even better sophomore season after adding tons of muscle over the offseason.
Harrison told reporters that his transformation had occurred ‘naturally.’
‘In college I didn’t eat as much probably, and then I started eating a little bit more, having more free time I guess.’
‘But I’ve been eating all the right things, some extra protein for sure.’

While Harrison was pipped to the Offensive Rookie of the Year award by the Commanders’ Jayden Daniels, he ranked favorably among other first-year pᴀss catchers.
Just four other players caught more balls than him from what turned out to be a loaded rookie class: Malik Nabers, Brian Thomas, Ladd McConkey and тιԍнт end Brock Bowers.
However, the No. 4 overall pick in last year’s NFL Draft had an up-and-down year as he posted two 100-yard games but seven games of less than 40 yards.
After the Cardinals went 8-9 in 2024, things could turn around next season due to a favorable schedule.
Arizona has the sixth-easiest schedule by opponents’ win percentage last season.
